Boy, do I ever need a kitchen makeover. My house is almost 30 years old, but we bought it 4 years ago. We’re trying to update, but we’re not very handy and money is always an issue. I read all these blogs and watch tv shows that make it look possible, but then my own efforts fail. I’d be thrilled to win this. Thanks.
i would love a new kitchen as ours is the old style about 30 years old our house is older it is built in 1945 i think so we would love a more modern kitchen and money is so hard to find when you are only on a pension
My wonderful husband and I just moved into our home 1 year ago. We have updated almost all the rooms with hard work and overtime shifts. He is a firefighter and I am a nurse. Our home is an updated 1960s home with the exception of the kitchen. A centralized wall gives it that drive-through feeling, and the counters/appliances are in desperate need of modernizing. We would appreciate help in making our dream home complete. Thank you.
